New (tax) year, new help!

Fixed Assets and UltraTax CS 2023 help is now on Help and Support. We're still moving articles, but you can find most content for the 2023 tax year there. Continue using the Help & How-To Center for tax years 2022 and older.

Note: Follow these steps only if you are using advanced security options, rather than the standard options.

By default, all unassigned users are assigned to the $Guests group. To assign these users to another group, complete the following steps.

  1. Choose Setup > Security, and enter the master password.
  2. In the Security tab, click one of the following options.
    • Click the Assign unknown users to option, and select the group to which you want to assign unknown users from the adjacent drop-down list.
    • Click the Do not allow unknown users to access UltraTax CS option. If you choose this option, any user who has not been assigned to a group will not be able to access UltraTax CS.
  3. Click OK.
